For the month of April we’re inspired by a vintage deco based on the dusty, muted hues such as golden yellows, rich greys, bronze browns and rose. Where the colder tones balance off the warmer tones, creating a beautiful depth when layered.

Our Floor of the Month for April 2018 is Oak Earth by Kährs Artisan Collection. Oak Earth has a rich smoked finish that enhances the natural colour variations for a rustic, vintage expression. Knots and cracks pepper the boards, adding depth and balancing the toasted sesame seed highlights.

Kährs Oak Earth is currently available in stock in Dubai. Visit our showroom in Sidra Tower or contact us on tel. +971 4 369 55 69 for more information.

This autumn’s trend focuses on using warm colours in deep, earthy tones, with a strong 1970’s-meets-oriental feel. Colours such as pink, red and rusty tones are more in vogue than ever. The palette ranges from light pink to burgundy and burnt orange, combined with deep browns that are balanced off with crisp whites and gold accents.

Our Floor of the Month for October, Kährs Oak Lava, sets a perfect base for this elegant yet earthy palette with its deep black-brown hue. It is currently available in stock in Dubai and offered with up to 20% discount. Contact us on tel. +971 4 369 55 69 to book an appointment in our showroom.

We’re loving deep emerald greens in combination with smokey brown wood and contrasting whites and brass. Interiors inspired by the iconic mid-century modern era and its nature-focused colour and material palette. Where the linear meets the organic – blurring out the lines between feminine and masculine. An interior that creates a sense of cosy comfort and timeless sophistication at the same time.

Our new Floor of the Month Kährs Oak Smokehas beautiful tobacco-brown hues enhanced by its richly smoked finish. Each board is carefully brushed to bring out the character of the grain and highlight the natural texture of the wood.

We are now offering with a special 20% discount on Kährs Oak Smoke during August 2017. Contact us for more information.

Inspired by our Floor of the Month for February, Kährs Brownie, we are loving the combination of the floor’s deep and dark brown tones against dusty pinks layered with taupes and warm greys- creating a muted retro-glam vibe ✨

This autumn is all about a modern take on vintage glam. We’ve been seeing a lot of vintage influences from the major fashion houses in the recent AW16 Fashion Week shows, influences ranging from the Elizabethan golden era, to the roaring 20’s, glam-luxe 70’s and all the way to the eclectic 90’s.

As for interiors this autumn, we’re seeing a lot of warm colours in rusty and muted tones making a comeback. The focus is on creating a lived-in and layered feeling, something that was very popular in the 70’s. To create a modern take on this look, we recommend selecting a tone of a colour tone and working with it. Work tone-in-tone with the colour to set a base. Complete the look with various objects, ceramics and diverse types of materials. For example, combine a rich velvet sofa with a natural wood floor; an aged leather armchair with suede and satin cushions; speckled ceramic vases with brass candle holders and dusty floral wallpapers.

Our Kährs Oak Smoke wood floor has a beautiful cognac colour that is perfect as a base for your vintage interiors, yet one that is still very versatile throughout the seasons. With its brushed, oiled and smoked surface, this floor will add a warm and cozy feeling to your space.

Up for some #BevviesandBurgers anyone? Brunswick Sports Club is the latest brainchild of F&B-duo Tom Arnel and Sergio Lopez, founders of Bull&Roo Hospitality. This pub is their first licensed venue, and is located inside Sheraton Hotel, on Level 2 of Mall of the Emirates.

The pub could very well be described as having the atmosphere of “Cheers” (classic American sitcom with the famous theme song, “Where Everybody Knows Your Name”) while looking like a modern, clean-cut sports bar that’s a feast for every interior design-loving eye. This place oozes a laid back come-as-you-are attitude and is sure to become your home away from home. A place where sports fanatics and fashionistas can meet under one roof to grab a “bevvy and burger”, while enjoying a game or simply to socialise!

This historical space is located on the island of Värmdö in the Stockholm archipelago, and was built in the year 1323. Today, the beautiful manor houses Siggesta Gård Hotell – a hotel and conference facility. Their most exclusive accommodation and conference facility is called Smedjan.

Though Smedjan was recently fully renovated, many old details have been perfectly preserved, refined and enhanced; and our vintage Kährs Oak Unico wood flooring with special wooden butterfly plugs has been installed- a natural floor that is reminiscent of the manor’s bygone days. We love!

There’s something about the tiniest bit of brass that instantly makes a space more interesting. Especially spaces with lots of matte white and black surfaces; small amounts gold add a lived-in and sophisticated quality.
